Suno prompt

A tender hard rock track blending folk with driving energy and a swung feel at 98 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a rimshot-forward snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Acoustic guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows a slow linear build. A warm male vocal delivers a soaring and sustained performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding vocal clarity and melodic lead, built on simple triad chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
